Mission Statement

Statement

Our mission is to serve as a welcoming and inclusive space for Muslims and the broader community, fostering spiritual growth, social connection, and cultural understanding. We strive to provide educational programs, religious services, and outreach initiatives that uphold the values of compassion, justice, and peace as taught by Islam. Through community engagement, interfaith dialogue, and service to humanity, we aim to contribute to the well-being of all individuals and promote mutual respect among diverse communities.

Islam is monotheistic religion teaching that there is only one incomparable God – Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of God. It is the world’s second-largest religion and the fastest-growing major religion in the world. Islam teaches that God is merciful, all-powerful and unique.
